Dow 30 Profile: AT&T Inc.
Dow component AT&T Inc. (T - Free AT&T Stock Report), headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is the nation's largest telecommunications holding company, with annual revenues around $127 billion, strong free cash flow, and a sound balance sheet. Through a network of subsidiaries and affiliates, the carrier provides wireless, Wi-Fi, high-speed Internet access, local and long distance voice, advanced TV services, and local search and advertising solutions. It is also the biggest global provider of IP (Internet Protocol)-based communications services to businesses. And it is a leader in mobile broadband, offering the best wireless coverage worldwide and the most wireless phones that work in the most countries.
A Baby Bell Is Born
As is the case with many of America's corporate heavyweights, AT&T's history is both long and complicated. The company, having come full circle in a way, has its roots in the original American Telephone & Telegraph Corporation, which was founded in 1876 when Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone and was, more than 100 years later, broken up pursuant to an antitrust settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice. In fact, the carrier now known as AT&T was one of the seven original regional holding companies formed in 1983 when the old local Bell System was split apart.
At that time, AT&T was called Southwestern Bell Corporation. But it changed its name to SBC Communications in 1995. And it then went on a major spending spree, thanks, in good part, to the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which lifted restrictions on the kinds of businesses that the Baby Bells and other communications outfits, from long distance providers to cable operators, could enter. Indeed, over the next few years, SBC Communications acquired Pacific Telesis Group (PacTel), Southern New England Telecommunications Corp., and Ameritech, each time expanding its customer base, enhancing its scope of services, and creating new cost-savings opportunities.
M&A Mania
The next big deal was not until 2005, when SBC Communications purchased its former parent, the old AT&T Corp., as part of a strategy to more aggressively target the corporate long distance and IP-based business segments. That's when the current, more recognizable corporate name, AT&T Inc., was adopted. The acquisition proved to be highly successful, ultimately generating annual run-rate cost synergies in excess of $2 billion.
Hoping to build upon this success and fend off newly emboldened cable rivals, especially Comcast (CMCSA) and Time Warner Cable (TWC), the company again dipped its toe into M&A waters in 2007, when it purchased BellSouth in an all-stock, $85 billion transaction. The blockbuster merger helped AT&T to gain ground in the booming broadband market, and moved the carrier closer to its goal of being a one-stop shop for consumers' communications needs.
It also, notably, strengthened AT&T's position in the increasingly important mobile space by giving the firm unified ownership of Cingular Wireless (now AT&T Mobility), which had been a joint venture between AT&T and BellSouth. Indeed, with total control of Cingular, the company was able to better build brand recognition (it quickly changed the Cingular name to AT&T Mobility), reduce customer churn, and widen its market-share lead over Verizon Wireless (VZ - Free Verizon Stock Report). (Verizon has since taken the top market-share spot, owing to its acquisition of Alltel in early 2009.)
Mobility Rules
Today, AT&T is still garnering ample cost savings from its multiyear M&A binge. The bottom line, however, is mainly being buoyed by the company's wireless unit, which got a significant boost when, in 2007, Apple (AAPL) selected AT&T Mobility as the exclusive U.S. carrier for the revolutionary, multimedia-enabled iPhone smartphone.
The company has since lost its iPhone exclusivity (Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel (S) are now selling their own versions of the popular device). And the mobile operations were recently dealt a setback when AT&T's $39 billion bid for Deutsche Telekom's (DTEGY) T-Mobile USA unit failed (stiff regulatory opposition forced the company to drop its acquisition plans). But AT&T, equipped with an improving broadband network and distribution agreements with several large OEMs, like Research In Motion (RIMM), Samsung, and HTC, should still see its subscriber base and high-margined wireless data revenue stream climb nicely in the years to come.
The traditional wireline business, meanwhile, has been under pressure in recent years, because of a steady stream of access-line losses. But the division is benefiting from restructuring initiatives that have significantly pared the cost structure. In addition, U-verse, AT&T's new Internet-powered video service, is now helping to counteract the line losses, along with stepped-up efforts to attract business clients. Indeed, the new VoIP offering is enabling the company to sell more all-in-one product bundles and keep its cable rivals at bay.
All in all, we think that AT&T shares are well suited for conservative accounts, because of the company's excellent finances and attractive dividend payout. The Dow component should be able to grow earnings at a decent, 5%-10% clip through mid-decade, as well, given the current momentum on the wireless and U-verse fronts.

Social Activist to challenge Environment Ministry nod to POSCO
Bhubaneswar, Jan.11: Social activist Prafulla Samantara on Saturday slammed Environment Ministry for clearing POSCO's planned steel plant in the country saying he would challenge the clearance in the court
"Now, question arises the forest land is diverted for 12 million tonnes. They can't do it. Secondly, that is not an integrated steel plant including the port. Now, the ministry of environment has de-linked port from environment clearance. So, it is not valid. So, we'll also challenge and all matters will come to green court because green court will consider whether the Government of India is justified or not," said Prafulla Samantara.
The Environment Ministry had cleared the project, which was stuck for more than eight years due to delays in getting various clearances and acquiring land, and asked it to spend on "social commitments", raising the project's cost by $600 million to $12.6 billion.
The revalidation of the South Korean firm's lapsed environmental clearance comes days before the country's president, Park Geun-hye, visit to India for four days starting January 15.
The proposed 12 million-tonnes-per-year plant will come up in Odisha.
The company is hopeful that Park's visit will speed up the project - India's biggest foreign direct investment.
The company will have to spend five percent of the total investment on "enterprise social commitments", POSCO-India spokesman IG Lee said, adding it was not immediately clear what that would entail. The ministry could not be contacted outside regular business hours.
POSCO first signed an agreement with Odisha in June 2005 to set up the steel plant on 4,004 acres of land.
It has already been allotted about 2,700 acres to begin the project's first stage, which involves setting up two 4-million-tonne plants in two phases. But much of the work can begin only after a nod from India's environmental court, which in May put on hold felling of trees for the project.
The first phase of the plant may be commissioned sometime in 2018, POSCO officials have said.

Embrace It
I have numerous scars on my hand and face from wrestling. Most are small, but some will always be visible. People sometimes ask me if it hurts. Well, yeah it hurts! Individuals sometimes ask me "Why would you purposely do something that hurts you?" I don't wrestle to get hurt, I wrestle to simply win. Hurting our opponents is just part of the game.
Wrestling is like any other contact sport; you are going to get hurt nearly every day of practice. I get scratched, head-butted, slammed, fingers mangled and twisted, slapped, my eye gets poked and basically any other possible way of being hit. I don't wrestle to get hurt because that would be no fun at all. Getting hurt is just part of the sport … it is just in the way of my goal in the end. I embrace the pain though, because without it, the goal I plan to reach in the end won't seem as earned.
"I hate this class. This work is stupid!" I hear this once in awhile from others and myself. Classes aren't meant to be stupid as they are meant to benefit you in the end. I really don't like math, but it is a class I must take, so I might as well embrace it.
College altogether is tough. It isn't meant for people who aren't willing to put in the time, but for those who do, there's a degree in the end that they have rightfully earned.

About Me Beauty Conscious
This is a staple piece to give me a break from styling and to protect my natural hair. Looks so realistic my friends at first thought I had either a fresh twist out or a rod/spiral set. Only minor con is that it is a little tight on a larger head, but from experience I know that this will loosen up a bit.

Update on this one. The line going down the wall is 2.5" outside diameter.
I looked up these fernco quick tees. Here is a link to the chart describing: http://www.fernco.com/plumbing/flexi...-ells#tabs-1-3
I have a very small powder room that I want to put an even smaller sink into. There is a 2.5" outside diameter cast iron pipe right there running floor to cieling.
My first thought was to cut and put in a pvc drain T using no hubs. But that is 1 foot from the toilet at eye level. It would be unsightly and big.
Is there any reason I cannot use a rubber T like the one pictured below. I know it will also be ugly, but it will be smaller and I could probably get away with painting it white like the pipes.
I also put a little sketch of the corner.
Here is a sketch.

Do you know if that cast iron pipe is a waste pipe? If it is a vent coming from the lower floors, you cannot put waste into it
It won't support the cast iron above it.
It looks like the pipe runs against the wall about as far away as the elbows protrude. It then does a 90 degree turn right above the sheet rock. The wall is a solid concrete wall.
I suppose a few U braces screwed into the wall would support it as long as they were very snug. I should also shim behind the pipe so it does not pinch in where I put the rubber T.
What do you think?
"I" think it's a dumb idea, but I suppose you intend to use it anyway, so telling you that it is NOT the proper way to do it is useless. A PVC tee and No-Hub couplings will be EXACTLY the same size, look better, but would still NOT be proper since it appears this is a waste line, not a vent. If it is a waste line, you could be creating problems for yourself, since the new sink will NOT be vented.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
I'm here for advice and value your expertise. If you say the rubber T is a bad idea I would not argue with you.
Venting: On the second floor there is a sink that feeds into a 1 and 1/2 that goes out the roof from there as a vent. That line comes down and becomes this line, so isn't it vented up there? It seems like most of the sinks connect to 2" iron pipes that vent out on roof and toilets connect to a different line. I've lived in the house for 7 years with constant high use and have never smelled sewer gas.
Also does it need to be vented if the sink is only is 12" from the waste line?
My slop sink isn't vented immediately.
Do they make PVC T street?
The venting situation is what HJ stated above may well cause you problems. You are wet venting between floors. The top floor sink will be fine but not the lower. When water comes down from above it will be pushing air. This may cause the water in the downstairs trap to slosh around, possibly enough to send some down the drain breaking the trap seal. If that happens there is nothing between your nose and your sewer. To do it right is a larger project than you envisioned.
They make street san tees, but they are only street on the bottom, you would still need a short hunk of pipe for the top.
OK. Got it venting ok for up top but two floors down it would create problems. I can imagine old pipes that may be slow to drain will make it even worse in that small sink two floors down
Taking that into consideration.
I have three thoughts: 1. Back flow valve?
2. More downward slope from sink rather than a horizontal run.
3. Using a 45 degree Tee instead of a rounded entry Tee
See the pic:
1) wrong
2) wrong creates S-trap code violation
3) wrong code violation....must be sanitary Tee
Still violated wet vent codes
My first instinct is to say code shmode. : )>
But if I did not have to worry about code, would a horizontal run with a back flow preventer before the sanitary trap to the trick?
A check valve won't work and the other two approaches will just compound the problem, the trap could syphon. Code and physics require a vent before you tie into the waste line. The vent would need to either go through the roof or tie into another vent above the fixture that vent serves. Sorry, but that is the deal. Is there an existing toilet in this room? If it is plumbed correctly you may be able to tie into the toilet vent.
There is a toilet in the room. It is on the caddy corner from this. The waste line runs floor to cieling and goes up to the third floor where it connects to that toilet.
There is a squirrels nest of drains and such behind the washer, I suppose I could tie into that.
On another note, can I connect a shower waste drain to the 4 inch toilet line I mentioned? I have a clawfoot tub in the room behind this with no drain pipe. I want to connect to this 4" waste line.
EACH and EVERY fixture drain needs a vent. Once a pipe is used as a vent (or waste) its function CANNOT CHANGE! IOW, you can't make a drain a vent, and you can't make a vent a drain - they cannot be dual purpose (with very few exceptions, and then, only within the same bathroom). Sometimes, it's not easy, and you have to tear up more than you want to make it all work right. When your house was built, it may or may not have passed today's codes. Generally, if you do not touch it, it's grandfathered. But, as soon as you touch it, the part you touch must be brought up to today's codes. Over the years, materials and knowledge has increased, and what may have worked in some circumstances way back when, was found to be faulty thinking, and there were situations where it would fail to provide a safe environment. The codes are designed to keep you safe, and have things work...whether you get it inspected or not, the physics and realities still apply and you should make it pass.

The greatest haircut, the greatest stylist – David has been my hairdresser/stylist for about 17 years. You will also find yourself travelling for an apppointment with Dave. He is the most creative, innovative, fun to be around stylist you will ever come across. You would be making the biggest mistake if you don't give him an opportunity to make your handsome(men) and most beautiful(girls/women) side shine through. He has done some incredible things with all types of girls/women that take them to the next level in the way they see themselves, and the way others start to see them. He's got the gift. David will not only make you look at your best, you will feel that you are truly "the best". Everyone should experience what Meringue and David have to offer to everyone.
This was the worst experience I have ever encountered at any salon! David, the owner, made me wait almost 50 minutes while he was running behind. He never apologized or was conscious of my time. While I was sitting there I could not believe what was taking place around me. He was talking about people in the most distasteful way. "She's so fat", "he's a big queen" were only some of what I heard. I was extremely uncomfortable and wanted to just run out the door…and I should have. Finally he was ready to cut my hair. I told him that I wanted to keep the same style but it needed to be shaped. While he was cutting my hair he was running back to another customer checking her color and texting. The fact that he was stopping and starting my hair cut made me very apprehensive. What I asked for and what I received were two very different things. He chopped layers all through my hair and one side was clearly shorter than the other. I tried to explain but he kept insisting that he did what I asked him to do. This man was extremely unreasonable and the only thing that made sense was to get out of there quick. The fact that he was gossiping, running very late, texting and working with more than one client seemed to have no bearing on his ability to do his job…what a joke! The man is rude immature, unprofessional and incompetent. This is a service oriented industry and what I experienced was the complete opposite. The hair cut was not what I wanted and it cost me $70.00!
Wonderful, WONDERFUL!!! – LOVE, LOVE, LOVE David! After reading several favorable reviews on this site, I made an appointment for a consultation, color and cut. First, David is extremely personable, and the environment at Meringue is very relaxed. David has created the perfect mix of quirk and fun in the salon. Second, the MINUTE he touched my hair, I KNEW he is someone who really knows hair. I am extremely pleased with the color and highlights--it looks so natural, but snazzy. My haircut is fabulous--without me even saying what I hated about my previous style, David recognized precisely those points (i.e. multiple weird layers, general imbalance in the style) and corrected them with a zen-like precision and attention to detail. Everyone has complimented me on my new look, and I am thrilled. If you are ready to invest in a quality hair styling professional and in yourself, there should be but one salon name and number in your contact list (Meringue) and one pair of extraordinarily talented hands on your head (David's)!! Start dialing and make an appointment!!
Quite satisfied leaving Meringue. – Really enjoyed Dave's company and advisement in what i should do with and how i should treat my hair. Having avoided salons for almost 2 years now, i went in from my girlfriends persistent attitude that David could fix up my hair.
Within the moments i met Dave i could tell the man was chill and knew exactly what he was doing.
It took no time at all for him to redo my hair into something i had never imagined. One thing David suggested for my hair when leaving was a product called "The Keritan Treatment" i went ahead with it and my hair has never felt so smooth!
Overall, this was a really good experience and advise anyone to give Dave's shop a shot.
Lovely! – This is such a lovely convenient place, and Vanessa is absolutely wonderful! She does her job very well, making you feel beautiful at the end of your session.
It's a very nice welcoming place.
You won't be disappointed.
I can't wait to go again! :)
Great, Casual Atmosphere, and Terrific Cut! – Good Conversation, Great Service and Awesome Haircut - I have never spent this much on a haircut before and I was a bit skeptical. David didn't take offense when I questioned him on his ability and experience for the amount of money charged. I hadn't had my haircut in several months because the cuts I get in the Cape May area are to be frank... Miserable! I was willing to spend a little extra to get a good cut for a change and after David took care of me I will never go anywhere else as long as I am within driving distance of Philadelphia. Yes, it is a 1 hour and 45 minute drive from Cape May, but it is worth it!
Love Love Love! – David has a gift that anyone should experience. initially i scheduled an appointment for just a touch up to my roots. But David suggested a quick cut to liven up my hair. Best decision i've made in a while and well priced compared to other salons in the city! Couldn't be happier when leaving. Thanks again Dave!
Philly's Finest! – I absolutely love this salon. After going with my friend a previous time, i recently looked up the salon for a coloring and cut. David has a great atmosphere and really knows what he's doing! Great conversations and a more than satisfied new look. Customer for life :)
HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE- TOTAL WASTE OF $ – HORRIBLE experience at this salon. overpaid for a terrible blow out before a big friday night event. i told David exactly what i wanted done and he made my hair look awful. i paid 45 $ plus tip (which i should have skipped completely) for a terrible blow out. he was runnign 40 mins behind schedule and didnt even apologize for making me wait. he made me late for the rest of my evening. he kept telling me how great he was at cutting hair and how he gives a phenomenal cut and how his customers come from all over the east coast. well ,i dont care, this guy cant do a blow out to save his life. a beginner at beauty school could have done better. my hair was flat, frizzy, greasy looking and stringy. he soaked my shirt during the hairwash and left me in the shampoo bowl while he went to the bathroom and out for a smoke. i was FURIOUS! biggest waste of money ever! please go elsewhere for a blow out.
Perfection..... – From the moment i stepped into the salon i was taken in by the positive energy and relaxing environment, also known as Meringue Salon. David sat me down and did more than i could have ever imagined possible with my hair and had me leaving a satisfied customer. At first, reading through some the lower rated reviews, i was skeptical if i should have gone. But after the response from family and friends of my new hair and my own impressions blown out of the water, Davids highly skilled scissoring techniques are incorrigible, at best.
Customer for life.

Rick's Camaros is your one-stop shop for 1967 Camaro parts. The 1967 Camaro was a First Generation F-Body Camaro, spanning from years 1967-1969. 1967 included the Z28 Coupe, Super Sport Convertible and Coupe, Rally Sport Convertible and Coupe, and the Standard Convertible and Coupe. 1967, the Camaro's first year, was Chevrolet's response to competing against the Ford Mustang in 1964. Sharing similarities with the Chevy II Nova, the 1967 Camaro featured a unibody structure, combined with a sub-frame supporting the front end, and single-leaf rear springs. Compared to the Mustang, the Camaro had a more streamlined appearance, better noise isolation and ride quality from a partial front frame, and a unitized rear for cost savings and space efficiency. 1967 was the only first generation Camaro to have both rear shock absorbers mounted forward of the rear axle and side vent windows. It also was the only time that Camaros did not have side marker lights. In addition to carrying 1967 Camaro parts, Rick's Camaros has parts for all Camaro models available. We have all the parts and accessories you need to help restore your 1967 Generation One Camaro, at the best prices! Trust Ricks for all of your restoration and replacement needs for your racer, show car, street rod, or daily driver.

Here are three characters in the multi-ethnic Stockholm underworld, each with his own murky idea of ethical behavior, each with his own personal reason for trying to do the right thing, even if that thing might seem immoral to others — and even, of course, if it is illegal.
This tangle of motivations makes "Easy Money" one of the most involving of the many first-rate thrillers that have come recently from Scandinavia. It has additional interest because it stars Joel Kinnaman, known to American TV audiences as the star of AMC's "The Killing." Kinnaman, who is seamlessly multilingual, has been signed to star in a forthcoming remake of "Robocop," and seems on the brink of stardom.
In the movie, he plays Johan Westlund, known as J.W., an impoverished student from a town in the north of Sweden, who feels out of his depth in the snobbish culture of Stockholm's financial wheeler-dealers. But he wants to be accepted by them. He is a gifted student, understands numbers and to impress the upper crust, lies about his family and conceals his poverty. They would be surprised to learn he drives a cab.
The second principal figure is Jorge (Matias Varela), who pulls off a daring prison break and arrives desperate at the home of his pregnant sister. Her husband knows all about Jorge's association with the cocaine business and has banned him from their home, but the sister lets him stay a few days. His enemies find him, and he is beaten by men working for the Serbian crime lord Radovan (Dejan Cukic).
The third protagonist is Mrado (Dragomir Mrsic), who becomes more sympathetic as we learn he was beaten as a child and is determined at all costs to shelter his little daughter, Lovisa, from the brutality he still experiences in his own life.
These three become involved in a labyrinth of dealings with the underworld. After Jorge is beaten, J.W. picks him up in his cab, has sympathy and takes him back to his tiny students' dorm room. It is from here that J.W., always particular about his appearance, always well-dressed, stages his forays into the world of the wealthy. As a cab driver, he often works for two Arab criminals, Abdulkarim and Mahmoud. Now he and Jorge become involved in their scheme to steal a shipment of cocaine the Serbs are bringing in from Germany.
Oh, it grows deeper. At the same time, the financial whiz J.W. is recruited by the Serbs for his money-laundering skills and intrigues them with the idea of purchasing a nearly bankrupt bank and using it as a front. So now he's working both for and against the Serbs.
If this sounds complex, it is. One of the strengths of Daniel Espinosa's film is how much clarity he brings to his story. His underlying interest is always in the motivations of his leading characters. In many crime movies, the characters are inspired by simple greed. Here we have J.W. trying to climb out of poverty and provincial obscurity; Jorge hoping to redeem himself in the eyes of his sister, and Mrado trying to construct a secure future for his daughter.
Always present, if not precisely stated, is that for all three of these outsiders, crime is the only avenue they can imagine to escape from their situation and become independent. The film makes it clear that Sweden is not quite the egalitarian state we imagine, but a nation where money, family and class still function as they do anywhere else. J.W. becomes keenly aware of this after falling in love with Sophie (Lisa Henni), a rich, young socialite. She loves him, too — but thinks he is the son of a diplomat. He knows clearly that if she saw him driving cab, sheltering an escaped prisoner in his dorm room and plotting to intercept a shipment of cocaine, her love would evaporate.
What is it about Scandinavia that has inspired such a stream of top-rate thrillers? Its novelists have been fascinated by the crime genre (this film is based on a novel by Jens Lapidus, soon to be published here). What remains consistent in the thrillers from this part of the world is they remain devoted to characters and their inner motivations. The people in these movies are not simply avatars moving through chases and shootouts. How novel.

It's time of the year when most of my jobs are cleared, and some minor jobs still left dangling. And distraction kicks in while surfing, i came across the story of Laocoön, and one mythology leads to another… i saw this stunning 2200 year old statue of Nike. I know i need to sketch it! So yes, work can wait.. and i tell myself 30 minutes to sketch and thats it! The sketch gradually became harder and more intricate than expected, and when i thought i almost got it, more than an hour past by. Crap… now i REALLY need to work.
NOTE: Those red label dots i placed on the sketch are actually mistakes that i made; as my patience to get the details right was wearing a little thin…..(Gahhhh….)
2008Dec 31
Taken from a very rough study statue of Laocoön And Sons (wrestling the serpent-last dated 1506). Although i grasped the basic shape right, somehow i missed out a a few fine details. I will sketch an improve version of this soon!

Eureka Primary School in South Derbyshire has enhanced their Learning Platform with Adobe Connect to better engage pupils in a range of subjects. What is interesting about Eureka is that they have found many different ways to benefit from the technology. Initially Adobe Connect was used as a collaborative tool within the school for pupils to talk with each other, but increasingly it is now used to communicate beyond the school boundaries, not only from home but across the atlantic to a school in Florida.
Through Connect, the children can watch each other's animations and review other work to give immdiate feedback. This is a new experience that enriches the learning experience bring subjects such as georgraphy to life. As Eureka becomes more familiar with the technology they are beginning to use a greater range of tools, for example voting on questions, Q&A and chat. Not only are lessons more enjoyable but the children have gained in confidence learning valuable planning and project management skills in the process.
Eureka has plans to increase the use of video, record school activities and create an information exchange for the children. So, in answer to the first question 'Does Connect make sense for Primary Schools' the answer is definitely Yes!

I was really disappointed when I tried this conditioner and shampoo. Smells great but it leaves my hair heavy with product and I would have to shower everyday if this was the line I used...
This by far is my favorite hair line. I have used many, many hair products. Amika is amazing, it smells great and is perfect for my color treated hair. I use it daily with the conditioner, my hair is the healthiest it has ever been! Even with coloring every 3 weeks and using a heat straighner. This shampoo is awesome and affordable priced!
I've been using this product for a couple of years and I really like the way it makes my hair feel and smell.
I first learned about amika products by receiving it in my birchbox and instantly fell in love! The way it smells is incredible but also, the way this shampoo makes your hair feel after just one wash, is fabulous! It is silky and smooth and I hardly had to use much conditioner at all! I actually ran out of the shampoo before the conditioner! (That never happens!)
Was very much addicted to this Shampoo - the light scent stayed in my air all day. I got this as a sample and couldn't get enough
I loved the scent but it was almost too gentle in terms of cleansing power. The conditioner and oil are great!
Love the texture, LOVE the smell, love this product. I have purchased multiple times and it never gets old. Buy this shampoo/ conditioner combo, you will NOT be disappointed.
I am pretty sure I have found my new shampoo. I love it, but the only down fall is, much like my problem with DevaCurl is that If i shower at night, this product leaves my hair almost oily looking in the morning. Much better for me when I am getting ready for the day. But I still love it!
Sometimes I feel like all shampoos are more or less the same. If it foams well I'm happy. I recently colored my hair for the for the first time and I learned that your shampoo should be sulfate free to prevent fading of color.
This shampoo foamed well, smells pretty strongly (think putting perfume through your hair), but most interestingly it made my hair feel soft immediately. Usually my hair feels soft after applying conditioner but this shampoo made my hair feel conditioned right away!
I would get this again, it could be better if the scent didn't linger so long because then you can't wear a competing perfume. Overall, give it a try!
I love the way this shampoo smells, and keeps my hair shiny. It doesn't dry out my hair, and it does great when I blowdry or just air dry. A little of this product goes a long way, and when you factor in the cost, it is great value. I will definitely repurchase when it runs out.

The G-Form Knee Pad provides form fitting protection for all day excursions out on the trails. G-Form uses RPT™ - Reactive Protection Technology, a blend of Poron® XRD™ and proprietary G-Form materials and technology. RPT give you a protective material that is progressive, meaning it gets tougher as the impact increases. It will also keep protecting you after repeated impacts without losing any of its protective qualities.
RPT Technology in the G-Form Knee Pad also keeps the pad light and comfortable and protects your knee on rides where you may not want downhill type protection that may be too bulky. The protective exo-skeleton is hinged to remain flexible and not restrict movement. The protective element is attached to a compression fabric in order to keep it close to the body to insure that your protection does not move away from your key areas. The G-Form Knee Pads can be worn in warm or cold weather, on top or underneath clothing.

These pads are awesome. I bought them after a crash which chipped my kneecap (for those reading out there, try to avoid this injury; its extremely painful for many months). I bought them to wear as a way to protect my knee from minor bumps on the trail; they are so comfortable I now wear them all of the time. They don't protect quite like hard plastic pads, if you grab ground you'll still feel it, but I've never had a problem getting up and riding again.
As far as fit, I sized these as per the GForm website and will stay in place for hours. I haven't had any problems with discomfort caused by material bunching,
They cover a large portion of the knee (wrap around) and shim which is really nice. I'm not sure if they extend low enough to protect against platform pedal strikes. They are long enough that I've notices most trail brambles and other brush don't scratch me much now.
The material might be a little bit warm for some people. I've worm them on multiple hour rides in 95F weather and haven't had any problems, but I like heat so your mileage might vary.
BTW: Mine are black and much more discrete than the yellow pads.
Summary: Awesome knee pads for all day pedaling!

These were the third pair of kneepads I've purchased. Tired of the hot, bulky, hard shells, I was looking forward to something smaller and was willing to trade off some of the impact protection I thought I might lose in favor of something more wearable. On my second ride I was climbing a rocky area and fell into a mountain laurel shrub. It was painful but I didn't realize anything was amiss until I got home two hours later and discovered the branch had punctured my pad. I pulled a quarter inch of foam out of my knee and had to go in for a tetanus shot and 3 stitches.
Since then I have healed up and still use them, albeit more cautiously. I wrote to the company because I was concerned that the puncture affected the integrity of the foam cell. I never heard from them. I also wonder how well the rubber around the foam will hold up as the pads get acquainted with the local rock gardens.
I've also washed them to get rid of the blood and have discovered a pin-sized hole in another cell. I can't say for certain that it was caused by another crash or the wash.
I still wear the pads because they are sooo light compared to my other pads, which are just dreadful in the summer heat. This is also my second season. I'm hoping I've graduated to a somewhat lighter pad. I would not recommend these pads for someone just starting out if there are a lot of rock gardens or random branches.
I may still buy these again if they last as long as my other pads did and they offer me decent protection on the rocks.

Best Uses
Comments about G-Form Knee Pads:
I have Troy Lee Designs Lopes Knee Guards, and they're awesome... but overkill for XC/lightweight trail riding. So I was looking for something more lightweight when I'm in casual mode (as given the opportunity I'll still take advantage of a nice jump or short descent).
So I decided to give the G-Forms a chance. Although many reviews say go up a size, I decided to stick to the sizing chart and go with small. I think the main consideration is what is your knee circumference vs. your calf circumference. If you have thick stocky legs, then go up a size, but if you're like me and have legs like a chicken, then the sizing chart is accurate. :)
I've used them once so far, and found them to be quite comfortable. Don't really notice them when riding, and they don't slip at all. As luck would have it, I did crash with them on this first run. There's this tricky spot that many friends have taken a spill, and I've done this technical single track before, but for some reason I went with my instincts vs. trusting in physics, and didn't go into this steep drop with a big tree root in front of it fast enough.
My knee did take a bit of a beating. The part where the rubber was covering the knee were fine, but you can see in the product picture that it's coverage area is limited. And any spot where there wasn't that rubber, I got bruised.
But that kind of maneuver is beyond what I would expect from these G-Forms. The rubber compound they use is quite interesting - it's like a reactive armor and is much thicker than what you'd expect from the pictures. I wouldn't be surprised if it could stop a bullet.
So overall I would recommend these if you're looking for minimalistic and lightweight protection for XC/casual trail riding. If you're going to go more aggressive, I would look into something that provides more coverage (e.g. Troy Lee KG5450's, Troy Lee Lopes knee guards, etc...).

Comments about G-Form Knee Pads:
I've been wearing these for a couple seasons now and they are holding up very well. I wear them in conjunction with the G-Form Elbow pads and they make a great, light-weight combination for the XC/AM riding I do.
I actually wear these on all of my rides both climbing and descending and have found them very comfortable. They don't slip or get too hot but provide awesome protection on the times I've needed it. After a recent ride, I took my bike to the shop to have some upgrades put on and totally forgot I even had them on while I waited for them to finish installing the parts.
I'll definitely purchase again when these wear out.

Comments about G-Form Knee Pads:
Crashed pretty hard the day I got these and they worked pretty well. Definitely not a down hill pad but great for XC. They are small enough that I can put both the elbow pads and the knee pads inside my camelbak. THEY RUN VERY SMALL!!!! Im a pretty average sized guy and I almost always buy things in medium but the XL size knee pads are almost too small for me. Make sure you check the size chart and measure your knees and maybe even consider going up a size from there.

G-Form: gear review
By Soren McCarty
Have you ever wanted to learn that new trick in the Terrain Park or on the BMX Track, but were afraid you were going to bust yourself? Are you the kind of person that has dropped your phone or media player? Well I found a cool new product that will amaze you. It's called G-Form; G-Form is a company that makes soft foam that stiffens upon impact. They have figured out how to use this technology in athletic pads and protective cases for electronics.
The Cool thing about G-Form products are they are soft and do not restrict movement or motion. They are designed to fit easily under clothing. Perfect for leaning new tricks on the snowboard, bike, skis, skateboard or great if you want a little extra protecting. The best part is they harden on impact, cushioning the blow to the athlete. I wish I had these when I was growing up. Because of the sleek fit, people won't even notice that you are wearing protective pads you'll probably even forget yourself.
G-Form makes Elbow pads, Knee Pads, Shin Pads, Crash Shorts and a Compression Shirt. Well worth the money and surprisingly comfortable, perfect for any active lifestyle.

Comments about G-Form Knee Pads:
I bought these for a mtn bike trip to Sedona AZ. They are super light weight and don't take up a ton of luggage space. They performed as promised, absorbing mostly everything. They are great for light to medium duty, but wouldn't expect them to handle the big falls. The fit was astonishingly comfortable, as if there was nothing there until you needed them. Only critique is that one of the padded 'cells', along with some material ripped open on a 'skid' fall with knee dragging. This is expected - better the pad than my knee! They are still usable and dependable.

Comments about G-Form Knee Pads:
I saw another rider in my local area riding with knee and elbows on during a XC ride. I asked him about them and he liked them. So I thought I would give them a try, especially at the price Jenson is selling them for. They work well. The disposition of energy throughout the pad is cool. Draw back of my riding area is it is rocky (sharp rocks). Though these pads save the skin, they will shred some. I went on a freezing MTB ride not to long ago and forgot my leggings to keep warm. So I used these in place and the pads worked very well shielding the wind. My only "blah" about the pads is, when the top gripper slides down (not a lot) it naturally binds behind the knee. It would be a smart move on G-form to redesign the back of the knee with less material.

More than 250 apartments are likely in store for the southeast corner of Marvin Road and U.S. 521/Johnston Road.
If approved, the rezoning request filed by Childress Klein Properties would allow 18.8 acres to be developed into 281 multi-family residential units. The request is on track to go before Charlotte City Council at their Dec. 17 meeting.
The petition requests the acreage be changed from R-3 zoning –vacant/single family land use– to UR-2(CD), which would allow Childress Klein to build apartments. Childress Klein partner Kelly Dunbar said plans for the Marvin Road apartments have been in the works since last December, and the developers reached out to surrounding residents with informal, formal and follow-up meetings.
"We're trying to be transparent with the neighborhood," Dunbar said. "Childress Klein Properties has been an upstanding corporate member of the Charlotte community since the late 1980s." Dunbar said. "We feel this site is a good fit."
According to documents filed with the city clerks office, close to 30 people attended a formal public hearing on Oct. 15. Dunbar said only two people spoke in opposition.
Kenneth Hammond spoke during the hearing and he and his wife, Denise, filed the lone protest petition against the project. "We're adjoining landowners, we share about 1,200 feet of property line," Hammond said.
Having lived there since 2004, Hammond said he and Denise always knew the adjoining property would be developed, but they have concerns about the density, as well as their own privacy.
At one point, an assisted living facility was suggested for the property, which Hammond said they would have preferred.
"We liked that idea, folks are much more quiet and it's a less transient population … this is worse for us than that would have been, but better than some commercial alternatives I could think of," he said.
"I'd love to see a lower-density but I understand from the developers point of view. It's all about dollars and cents , what maximizes their profit."
Hammond said they've worked with the developers to increase the buffer zone between properties, agreeing that Childress Klein would replace a 6-foot fence along the property line with a masonry wall; planting vegetation such as holly that's expected to grow at least 30 feet and removing balconies from the buildings closest to their home.
Hammond said while the other concern voiced at the public hearing had to do with increased traffic, he said that wasn't his primary concern as a homeowner.
"Traffic is much less a concern to us than the buffer has been. That is potentially what could impact our property the most negatively."
However, Hammond said they plan to rescind their protest petition once they've seen the revised site plan.
Dunbar said they've committed to making a number of traffic improvements that would increase the safety and efficiency of the intersection. If they're able to get permits to do so, Dunbar said, they'd like to increase the left-turn lane onto Marvin Road.
"It currently backs up into the passing lane, so we'd like to increase that holding lane," he said.
Dunbar said another possible intersection improvement would be a traffic light that would only stop northbound traffic in the evenings.
"The southbound traffic never stops and that would improve the efficiency of that intersection by up to 70 percent," he said. David Eaker, the second person who spoke during the public hearing, said he spoke on behalf of a number of area residents who only have access to their neighborhoods –like Farmington and Kenilworth II– via Marvin Road.
"I just can't see the logic in it, they're going by numbers in the book rather than common sense," he said. Eaker said the additional cars won't just mean more traffic headaches, but also new students to already over-crowded area schools.
Eaker said he owns 2.5 acres on Marvin Road and said he's been there long enough to see Ballanytne grow to its current size.
"I'm not against growth, they're making bad decisions which (are) going to affect more than just Marvin Road," he said. "This is a really big issue and (city council members) have said they know traffic is a problem down here. It's going to create a nightmare and once it's in, you can't do anything about it."

Churchill and the King
The Wartime Alliance of Winston Churchill and George VI
- eBook - ePub eBook: $12.99
For fans of The King's Speech, the intriguing bond between monarch and prime minister and its crucial role during World War II
The political and personal relationship between King George VI and Winston Churchill during World War II is one that has been largely overlooked throughout history, yet the trust and loyalty these men shared helped Britain navigate its perhaps most trying time.
Despite their vast differences, the two men met weekly and found that their divergent virtues made them a powerful duo. The king's shy nature was offset by Churchill's willingness to cast himself as the nation's savior. Meanwhile, Churchill's complicated political past was given credibility by the king's embrace and counsel. Together as foils, confidants, conspirators, and comrades, the duo guided Britain through war while reinspiring hope in the monarchy, Parliament, and the nation itself.
Books about these men as individuals could fill a library, but Kenneth Weisbrode's study of the unique bond between them is the first of its kind.
Chapter One
Churchill's Moment
Neville Chamberlain had taken far too long, some said, to admit failure. So they gave him a hard push. Britain's prime minister imagined that he had appeased Hitler. He may have deterred him, but only for a brief time. He did
not dissuade, disarm, or destroy him. Hitler took the Sudetenland and dismembered Czechoslovakia; he had conquered his piece of Poland and allowed Stalin to grab the rest; he had invaded Denmark and Norway, "fascinated, browbeaten, cajoled and then garotted." The way was open to France, and everyone, or nearly everyone, knew it. In May 1940, Europe was again at war. And in Britain, Chamberlain got the blame.
The king was worried. He had seen his father age terribly dur‑ ing the last war and had served in it himself. He may have had "boundless confidence" in his prime minister, but Chamberlain had failed. "Resign—Resign," the members of Parliament shouted amid stanzas of "Rule Britannia." The burden of choosing a successor fell to them and, ultimately, to the British people. But the formal responsibility rested with the king, for the king is the only one who
can ask a prime minister to form a government.
The most likely candidate to replace him was Lord Halifax, the foreign secretary. "The Holy Fox," as Churchill had named him, was a tall, trim, elegant Yorkshireman and a former viceroy of India, whose "long figure curled like a question mark." He was at once skeptical and imaginative—a man, it was said, who "could see at least three more facets to any diamond than the jewelers who cut it had placed there." One of the few sympathetic qualities of this "high priest of the Respectable Tendency," perhaps, was his possession, like the king, of a speech impediment that was said to resemble "a slight lisp." He was also missing a hand.
Halifax was a man after the king's heart: aristocratic in style and spirit, resilient, stately, shrewd, cautious, principled, practical, courteous, attentive, and, probably above all else, "insinuating, but unlovable." He was, therefore, a reliable figure, not at all like the unpredictable Churchill, whom Chamberlain regarded as a "d——d uncomfortable bed fellow." The king trusted Halifax and was said to be "far closer to him than to any other senior politician of the day." His wife was a lady‑in‑waiting to the queen, and it had been he who had convinced the king, ultimately, that the policy of appease‑ ment had been misguided.
But Halifax did not want the job and made a strong case for why he should not have it. He was already a member of the House of Lords; prime ministers generally came from the Commons. As foreign secretary he was associated in the popular mind with Chamberlain, whereas Churchill, though he had been serving until now as First Lord of the Admiralty, had been the prime minister's loudest critic. Halifax suggested a government of national unity
with members of each major party, but not with himself as head.
According to him, Chamberlain
thought that it was clearly Winston, or myself, and appeared to suggest that if it were myself he might continue to serve in the Government. I put all the arguments that I could think of against myself, laying a considerable emphasis on the difficult position of a Prime Minister unable to make contact with the centre of gravity in the House of Commons. The P.M. did not think so much of this . . . and my stomach ache continued. I then said . . . that I had no doubt at all in my own mind that for me to take it would create a quite impossible position.
Therefore, it would be hopeless. . . . If I was not in charge of the war (operations) and if I didn't lead in the House, I should be a cypher. I thought Winston was a better choice.
A new government would also need the support of the leaders of the Labour Party, which either man probably could have got, but not under Chamberlain.
The three met together at Downing Street. Chamberlain's "demeanour was cool, unruffled and seemingly quite detached from the personal aspect of the affair."
"Can you see any reason, Winston, why in these days a Peer should not be Prime Minister?"
Churchill "saw a trap in this question." His friend and fixer, Brendan Bracken, had warned him the previous night to expect it.
"It would be difficult to say yes without saying frankly that he
thought he himself should be the choice. If he said no, or hedged, he felt sure that Mr. Chamberlain would turn to Lord Halifax and say,
'Well, since Winston agrees I am sure that if the King asks me I should suggest his sending for you.' " Churchill said that Chamber‑ lain probably wanted him to serve as Halifax's deputy and he was open to the possibility. "You cannot agree to this," Bracken said.
"Winston was obdurate; he said that he could not go back on his word." So Bracken told him to keep quiet.
"Promise?" He did.
Churchill stared out the window and said nothing. "I have had many important interviews in my public life and this was certainly the most important," he later wrote. "Usually I talk a great deal, but on this occasion I was silent. . . . As I remained silent, a very long pause ensued." Halifax proposed that Chamberlain should nominate Churchill to succeed him. Churchill finally spoke and said he would take no political steps until he heard from the king. His son, Randolph, later modified the story:
It was quite true that Winston had been advised to keep quiet when he went with Halifax to see Chamberlain. It was also true that Chamberlain wanted Halifax and said that Halifax would be more acceptable to Labour and to the Liberals. It was also true that Halifax had said that he would not be captain of his own ship with Winston on board. W.S.C. had then spoken and said: "I am sure you wouldn't." Chamberlain had then suggested further discussion with the Labour Party. Winston had replied that he would have nothing to do with further discussions. If the King sent for him, he would form a
government whether Labour came in or not.
Thus did Churchill emerge as the new leader.
The king had been feeling unhappy. His thoughts were said to be charitable, even sympathetic, toward Chamberlain, and he regret‑ ted the attacks on him. He was worried about the Labour Party leaders. He asked, "Would they serve in the Nat. Govt. with N. Chamberlain as P.M.? They said no. Would they serve in the Nat. Govt. with anybody else as P.M.?"
For his part, Churchill did "not remember exactly how things happened" but that he became aware that "I might well be called upon to take the lead." He remembered being "content to let events unfold. . . . It was a bright, sunny afternoon, and Lord Halifax and I sat for a while on a seat in the garden of Number 10 and talked about nothing in particular."
On the next day, May 10, the news came that Hitler's armies had invaded Holland and Belgium. Churchill treated himself to a
4:00 a.m. breakfast of fried eggs and bacon, and a cigar. Later he discussed with the War Cabinet the effect of the previous night's attacks. Halifax had gone to the dentist. Chamberlain then went to the palace. The king
accepted his resignation, & told him how grossly unfai[r] I thought he had been treated, & that I was terribly sorry that all this controversy had happened. We then had an informal talk over his successor. I, of course, suggested Halifax, but he told me that H. was not enthusiastic, as being in the Lords he could only act as a shadow o[r] a ghost in the Commons. I was
disappointed over this statement, as I thought H. was the obvious man, & that his peerage could be placed in abeyance for the time being. Then I knew that there was only one per‑ son I could send for to form a Government who had the confidence of the country, & that was Winston. I asked Chamberlain his advice, & he told me Winston was the man to send for.
So he did. When Churchill arrived at the palace that evening, he
was taken immediately to the King. His Majesty received me most graciously and bade me sit down. He looked at me searchingly and quizzically for some moments, and then said: "I suppose you don't know why I have sent for you?" Adopting his mood, I replied: "Sir, I simply couldn't imagine why." He laughed and said: "I want to ask you to form a Government." I said I would certainly do so.
Churchill rode from the palace "in complete silence." Arriv‑ ing back at the Admiralty, he remarked to his detective, W. H. Thompson:
"You know why I have been to Buckingham Palace, Thompson?" "Yes, sir . . ." Thompson saw tears.
"God alone knows how great it is," Churchill said. "I hope that it is not too late. I am very much afraid that it is. We can only do our best." Then he "muttered something to himself " and strode up the stairs, "with a look of determination, mastering all emotion."
It has been said that insouciance is the elixir of power. It is dif‑
ficult to imagine Churchill or the king drinking in excess from that cup. Neither man was all‑powerful politically: one was head of government, the other head of state. Neither was a Roosevelt nor a Stalin. But "[t]ogether"—to borrow a description once applied to Churchill and his amanuensis, Eddie Marsh—"this strangely assorted pair, the bulldog and the sparrow, plunged into the tur‑ moil of politics without a moment's delay."
The question remains whether the extroverted and introverted elements of their character were inherently complementary; that is, whether each man strove consciously to work with the other so as to make an amalgam. They certainly warmed to each other. But the prospect of an alliance was not self‑evident, at least not initially. It was fortunate that getting on, even developing a mutual affection, may have proved less difficult than either man had imagined, if they had even thought about it so directly. Somehow they made it work.
Halifax had been magnificently right. For Halifax was insouciant, in or out of power. He was practically a member of the king's family; the two spoke each other's language and had dealt familiarly for a long time. Halifax would have had no trouble working with him. Chamberlain's rationale for not having recommended him to the king remains unresolved. He had said to Halifax "that he had always thought he [Chamberlain] could not face the job of being prime minister in war, but when it came he did; and yet now that the war was becoming intense he could not but feel relieved that the final responsibility was off him." Perhaps he thought he was doing Halifax a favor. Halifax in turn must not have felt the need to place so much importance on reordering his mind and his
relations for that purpose, as Churchill later did. Familiarity and trust were already in place. Churchill, on the other hand, had to earn them.
Churchill had been the most stalwart, most eloquent, and most determined opponent of the policy of appeasement. He had a check‑ ered political past and an even more checkered reputation for a life once described "as a set‑piece contest between curriculum vitae and genius." He had served and abandoned both major political parties and had seen his career rise and fall repeatedly for nearly half a century. He had held every major cabinet post bar that of for‑ eign secretary and prime minister, and not by accident. Some of his contemporaries abhorred the idea of his assuming office, but to his and his country's credit, Halifax recognized that Churchill, not he, was the man it needed. Only Churchill could have formed a national government to rally the nation in war. Only he could have waged it.
So he did. But he did not lead on his own; no leader does. There is an easy tendency to promote the identity of Winston Churchill as a solitary bulwark: as Britain stood alone in the darkest hours of
1940, so did Churchill. But at his side were his aides and lieutenants, his so‑called Secret Circle of favorites, his parliamentary allies, and his loyal wife and family. Most of these people, however, were followers or courtiers. There was only one other man who stood with Churchill at the helm, from the very beginning, and he was the king. "Ministers come and go, but the King remains, always at the centre of public affairs, always participating vigilantly in the work of government from a standpoint detached from any consideration but the welfare of his peoples as a whole," an editorial
in the Times put it in May 1943 after the victories in North Africa. "He is the continuous element in the constitution, one of the main safe‑guards of its democratic character, and the repository of a knowledge of affairs that before long comes to transcend that of any individual statesman."
But the war caught the king unready and, apparently, unproven. In the spring of 1940, few could have predicted the calamity that was about to befall Britain. Even Churchill, for all that he had warned of it, could not have known the extent of the defeat and destruction that would come in the next few months.
"In times of danger," wrote a contemporary observer, "democratic leadership is gained, not by the gun and rubber truncheon, but by great ability, the reputation for courage in vicissitude, stamina, and fighting spirit." Churchill reached the pinnacle of British politics at last. Would another, younger prime minister have been better for the forty‑five‑year‑old king? That was certainly possible. Would a different monarch have made Churchill's life comparably worse, pushing him harder to justify and explain every strategic decision, or, alternatively, much easier, by letting him do his job without interference? Also quite possible. "George VI was not a born leader," his father's biographer, Kenneth Rose, has written. "He could seem shy and harassed, aloof and even morose. Yet when put to the test of war he displayed nobler qualities: resolution and dignity and the chivalry of an earlier age." He, too, gained.
It is not easy to imagine either of the Edwards, VII or VIII, George V, or even Queen Victoria, for that matter—despite the interest she took in some matters of government— being granted so much direct involvement, and with no objection. This monarch had it, thanks to Churchill. The two were the better for it. So was Britain.
Who were they? Before anything can be understood of their individual or combined nature, something more must be said about their origins.
"Churchill and the King is a slim volume . . . yet it merits a place on Churchillians' bookshelves . . . Weisbrode chooses to sketch . . . a credible account of the relationship between these two men who led Britain in World War II."
—Paul Reid, The American Spectator
"Wonderfully readable . . . This is popular history at its best . . . Weisbrode does a very good job of illuminating the bonds that drew two men with such different personalities together."
—The Daily Beast
"An organic comparison of two highly flawed and deeply sympathetic characters at the helm of England at her most perilous hour. . . .Weisbrode makes a very compelling case that each man was 'working against his own faults, on behalf of the other.' An inspired, engaging comparative portrait."
"Historian Weisbrode shares the story of how two of the most important figures in 20th-century Britain, Churchill and King George VI, worked tirelessly to maintain British interests throughout WWII. . . The friendship that grew between these two historical figures makes for an uplifting story."
—Publishers Weekly
"Churchill and the King is a thoughtful, deeply insightful account of two unconventional friends -- the shy, stammering George VI and the flamboyant Winston Churchill -- who, after triumphing over their own personal adversities, join forces to rally their countrymen and inspire the world in the dark days of World War II. "
—Lynne Olson , author of Citizens of London, Troublesome Young Men, and Those Angry Days
"Weisbrode's excellent book on Churchill's relationship with King George VI is very well done and will take an honoured place on my Churchill shelf."
—Paul Johnson, author of Modern Times and Churchill
"One of the last unexplored relationships of World War Two is that between Winston Churchill and the only person who could have sacked him during that conflict, King George VI. They had very different personalities and views on politics, but their country needed them to work in perfect tandem. As Kenneth Weisbrode writes, 'Somehow they made it work,' and in this well-researched and well-written book, he shows how what began as a professional necessity turned into a genuine friendship, and eventually one of the best working relationships of either man's life."
—Andrew Roberts, author of The Storm of War and Masters and Commanders
"The shy, stammering King and the loquacious, domineering Prime Minister were an odd couple--but they gave each other courage and confidence when England stood alone. Ken Weisbrode has written an elegant and perceptive study of friendship in power."
—Evan Thomas, author of Ike's Bluff and Sea of Thunder
